accessed and interpreted workplace information for hulling and separation requirements

confirmed supply of necessary materials and services

conducted pre-start checks, started, operated, monitored and adjusted separation and hulling process equipment to achieve required outcomes, including:

monitored control points

conducted inspections

confirmed process remains within specification

conducted equipment changeover/replacements according to procedures

diagnosed common faults, and rectified or reported equipment failure within level of responsibility and according to workplace procedures

selected, fitted and used personal protective equipment

followed workplace health and safety procedures

followed personal hygiene practices according to food safety procedures

monitored the quality of process, and taken corrective action in response to out-of-specification results

completed workplace records according to procedures

maintained work area to meet housekeeping standards.

Knowledge Evidence
